"Farmworkers face long hours of arduous work exposed to dangerous pesticides and heat stress. Each year, an estimated 1 billion pounds of pesticides are applied to U.S. farms, forests, lawns and golf courses. Pesticide applicators, farmers and farmworkers, and communities near farms are often most at risk of pesticide exposure and heat-related illnesses."
